I like your blog.
Like me, you're obviously a fan of the ATV and have been since day one. You're right about the latest movie listings, they are probably not needed, but if you replaced them with a few discussion topics it would be a site to check in to on regular basis.
i.e.
It looks like a new version on the ATV is coming in a few weeks - what changes are hoping to see in the new model?

Also maybe a Rent or Not To Rent thread where we could all a quick one line opinion on a movie.

As a long time reader your post is sad but true. I don't pay too much attention to your movie release post but every now and then it does remind me about a movie I wanted to see. I don't open iTunes everyday but I do read my rss feeds daily...
I do enjoy the general atv news, tips & tricks, and hacks from someone who actually uses an atv regularly.

I rented and downloaded two movies on the same day. A week later I was able to connect my iPad to my HDTV and watch one movie but the other movie would not let me view it. It said there was a restricted device attached to the iPad?

I wish I could tell you. TDK has been available through the iTunes Store in HD on and off for the last couple of years.

The TV everywhere option from DISH has made watching TV away
from home easy. The apps from iTunes to watch movies are great. I like that I
can pull right off my DVR and watch a TV show that iTunes doesn’t have. This is
free from DISH right now. This gives a customer a way to enhance TV viewing. I
like that the fact I am not stuck at home. There are other great offers from
DISH Network where I work.

Yeah, iPad 2 will play any HD Movie content from the iTunes Store, as should the iPhone 4 and OG iPad.

I'm after ordering an iPad online...

If I pre-order The Lion King in HD, would that play on my iPad 2 when I get it, or only on a Mac or PC?
Thanks for reading this.

What I don't know is does the 25 hour rule mean that you 'start' watching the movie within 24 hours or does it have to be finished by 24 hours?

I've had an Apple TV for four years now and during that time I've watched online video streaming slowly gain momentum. I think it's almost at tipping point where it will spread to the non-techy people that still rent DVDs from Love Film or Blockbuster. It's almost there but I think it'll be next year before it's the cool "new" thing to do.
The fact that all these other companies are trying to get onto the bandwagon shouldn't worry Apple too much. If someone finds movie rentals through their PS3 or Bluray player it won't be long before they start looking enviously at the Apple TV.

I still maintain that there is virtually no chance at all of this happening, at least not in the near future. Apple will never release a major project where they do not control the hardware totally. They will likely license AirPlay, or perhaps access to the iTunes store, to a third party someday -- but I don't think they'll put the Apple name and logo on a TV designed by Samsung or anyone else.

What started out as a straightforward commission swiftly became a cultural phenomenon, sustained by a year of recurrent tabloid headlines. All of this while legal proceedings against one individual prevented transmission of the final two episodes. ...

Fans have taken AirPlay, a wireless media streaming technology from Apple, to places far beyond the boundaries of the iOS/Apple TV walled garden. For example, we've seen stuff like a Cydia hack that enables AirPlay in any third-party app, ...
